Haitian police arrest three foreigners at airport

Monday, March 18, 2013 | 6:41 PM



PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Three foreigners have been arrested on drug trafficking and money laundering charges after officials found US$350,880 in their luggage at the international airport in Haiti’s capital, police said Monday.

Police spokesman Gary Desrosiers said two Colombians and one Venezuelan were taken into custody on Saturday as they tried to board a flight to an unspecified location. The three are being questioned.

Haiti has long been a transit point for cocaine from South America and marijuana from Jamaica heading to the United States, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere in the Caribbean. The US government last year designated Haiti as a major drug trafficking country citing an “open channel northward into the Caribbean, and Haiti’s still nascent counter-narcotics capacity.”

Haiti has only 10,000 police officers for a country of 10 million people, along with a coast guard unit that has only 144 people. Traffickers take advantage of the largely unguarded coastline and skies in the northern and southern parts of the country.

a poster on another thread posted that they were two Venezuelans and one Columbian (spelling Colombian wrong) and that the money was destined for Capriles. Sounds like alot of mierda to me. No link was cited of course. Just a bunch of bullshit. Shame.

1. the post in question

I'll be sure to take a copy of this thread so we can all laugh at how ridiculous the opposition is. If this is how fast and loose they play with words out in the open where everyone can see, imagine how worse it is with their actions in the dark.

Just two days ago, Haiti arrested 2 rightwing Venezuelans and a Columbian who were trying to sneak in $350,000 in illegal funds for Capriles. $350,000 here, $350,000 there and before you know it Bechtel is privatizing your water.

Pretty funny and extremely stupid. Can chavistas do anything but lie? They can't spell that's for sure.

5. My response to yet this latest display of dishonesty is in post #2

here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/110810572#post2

So despite all the key elements I provided, you went out and scoured the net to find a source that didn't mention that this money was for Capriles. What next Bacchus?

2. Let me help you out again

Dinero de la reconstrucción de Haití para la campaña de Capriles

x La Haine / Agencias :: Más articulos de esta autora/or:


En la mañana de este martes fueron arrestados en Haití tres ciudadanos, uno colombiano y dos venezolanos, que portaban de forma ilegal unos 350.368 dólares americanos en efectivo, los cuales serían utilizados en la campaña del candidato opositor Henrique Capriles Radonsky.

La denuncia fue realizada por Jorge Rodríguez, jefe del Comando de Campaña “Hugo Chávez” del candidato Nicolás Maduro para las elecciones presidenciales del 14 de abril de 2013, durante una rueda de prensa efectuada el día de hoy en compañía de la militancia revolucionaria.

Rodríguez precisó que cuando estas personas fueron interrogadas por funcionarios de la Policía Nacional de Haití, “señalaron que ese dinero estaba destinado a la campaña del candidato opositor Henrique Capriles”.

On Tuesday morning, three people were arrested in Haiti, one Colombian and two Venezuelans, illegally carrying US $350,368 in cash, which would be used in the campaign of opposition candidate Henrique Capriles.

...

When the men were questioned by officers of the Haitian National Police, they said "that the money was intended for the campaign of opposition candidate Henrique Capriles".

I'd provide you with the Creole articles but I think those would be over your head.

More details from the Haitian papers for those interested in facts:

The cash was in their suitcases and they were stopped as they were trying to board an unidentified aircraft heading to an unspecified location.


Tsk, tsk. Now you even have the Haitians actively involved in doing what they can to help the Venezuelan people protect their revolution. Capriles saying he was going to stop the generous arrangement Chavez made to provide Haiti with oil must not have gone over very well. Another faux pas by arrogant AntiChavez people who don't understand, or rather prefer to deny, the historic link between Haiti and Venezuela.

Now let me give you another clue, when I'm having a conversation with friends for whom I've already established my credentials, I don't normally provide links for second level information unless they request them. If you needed a link, all you had to do was ask for one. So I mixed up the ratio of Colombian vs Venezuelan subversives. That all you got? Alert the media Bacchus!

Edit/ Actually no, I didn't get it wrong. The initial report said 2 Venezuelans and 1 Colombian, but go ahead, keep patting yourself on the back since that's all you got. I trust you can properly translate the words uno and dos in the following excerpt.

fueron capturados en Haití tres ciudadanos, uno colombiano y dos venezolanos, que portaban de manera ilegal 350.368 dólares americanos en efectivo, los cuales serían utilizados en la campaña del candidato opositor Henrique Capriles.

9. Doesn't take sane people long to grasp who's honest. So glad you've offered more info.

Love that photo of Chavez in Haiti.

Of course they don't welcome the thought of what Capriles has promised to do to them. Why would anyone in his right mind? (These clowns like Capriles don't seem to recognize this tradition of offering discounted oil to poor regional countries is a practice which extends far, far back, well beyond Chavez, to around 1980, and the San Jose Accord. He's actually saying he wants to end something which was implemented long ago by another Venezuelan President, and honored by all the successive ones.)

Shabby, tacky spinners. The worst.
